a story worth telling is a life worth living

#Relocation #win

Walking through Target today, I saw all of the new fall clothes out and I was thinking about buying some of them for the upcoming cold weather. Except I don’t have to worry about any cold weather.

On Friday, I accepted a job at the New York Times Editing Center in Gainesville, Fla., and I’ll be moving down next week.

Cue the biggest sigh of relief I’ve ever had. I have a real job with real job things and I’ll be able to stop bumming off of friends and family. It feels fantastic. I’ll be designing for the international weeklies, which get distributed all around the world.

On the flip side, I’ll be leaving my girlfriend behind in St. Louis and relocating out of the Midwest, which I never really planned to do. But this opportunity came into my radar and I applied. They apparently liked me enough since they hired me, so I’m off to Gainesville.

Everyone has a story, and each story is just as and more interesting than the last.

What sets stories apart is the people who drive them, the people who live them. Interesting is everywhere, and this is a venture to find it.

#Life is a story blog about a cast of characters trying to figure out what the hell to do with their lives. They will share the stories they are a part of as they try to find purpose and direction, and hopefully enough of a paycheck to leave money in the budget for beer. This is a story driven by curiosity, uncertainty and passion for life.
